Fallow Deer

Scientific Name: Dama dama

DID YOU KNOW?

• Fallow deer come in several color variations, from dark chocolate to pure white.
• Only males have antlers, and they’re shaped like broad palm-like paddles.
• They communicate with a loud “groan” during the mating season.

EVERY SPECIES COUNT

Fallow deer populations are stable, but they still face challenges such as habitat loss and competition with domestic animals. Emirates Park Zoo helps educate guests about the role deer play in maintaining grassland ecosystems.
